But she qualified that objective, adding that those issues "are as diverse as who we are."

Harris, who was the first female district attorney in San Francisco and first woman to be elected as California's attorney general, has been asked about so-called "women's issues" plenty in her political career. How does she response to the query?

"OK, I'm so glad you want to talk about the economy."

Harris explained that "It's a woman's issue to care about climate change. It's a woman's issue to want comprehensive immigration reform. It's a woman's issue to think about criminal justice reform (and) It's a woman's issue to care about reproductive healthcare and the affordable care act. It's a woman's issue to care about so many of these things," Harris continued.

"Women are not and should not be relegated to being a stereotype or a trope." Through film, she added, "we have to tell the stories of all that women are and all of our beautiful diversity."
